-bash: docker: command not found - docker

I have windows 7 system which is configured with Cygwin to accept remote connections through ssh. I have docker installed on windows 7 system as well.But when I ssh into the windows 7 system and run $ docker info
it says -bash: docker: command not found

It sounds like the cygwin path is missing docker. You'll need to update your path in cygwin for that user.
Also be aware of this problem.

Not able to start docker Desktop in Windows

I am not able to start the Docker container in Microsoft Windows 10 profession. As I found the cause of this error is due to the docker engine is failing to start.
After installing docker I am able to run only the docker version command.
-> docker --version
As I found the error which is showing docker daemon is not running in windows while running any other docker commands on CMD.
I also enabled (checked) the Hyper-V option in "Turn Windows features on or off" in the Control panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off.
The error is related to the daemon part:
In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect.
We can switch the Docker daemon as an elevated user in order to run the docker daemon in the Windows professional:
Run below command with Windows Powershell as administrator:
Run the PowerShell command: -
& 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon
OR
You can run the below command on CMD as administrator:
Run the CMD command: -
"C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe" -SwitchDaemon
My Docker Desktop failed to start after I forced it to exit while updating (it stuck during the update that's why I had to do it). No solution on the Internet helped me until I ran into this Powershell command:
wsl -l -v
It listed the following:
* Ubuntu-18.04 Stopped 2
docker-desktop Uninstalling 2
docker-desktop-data Stopped 2
It kept saying "Uninstalling" even after rebooting the whole system.
What I did was:
wsl -t docker-desktop
It terminated docker-desktop and made the problem gone.
delete %appdata%\Docker\settings.json and let Docker to create a new one
You should check WSL:
Execute "wsl -l -v" at the command prompt.
If the result is like this:
Then execute "wsl --shutdown" on the command line.
Then execute "wsl -l -v", you will see:
Then start Docker Desktop.
This solved my problem.
Make sure to download the Linux Kernel Update Package and then try restarting Docker Desktop.
Download from here
Just share my experience how I solved the problem with "docker failed to start" or similar problem. I found some mess with my Win10 Home edition, despite the fact that all checkes regarding Hyper-v, wsl and others passed I got failed to start docker engine. So, I tried to install one of the old version (4.4.4), not the newest one. An voila it installed wsl2 and started without any problems!
Hope this could help someone who's tried all solutions (for example, deletion of the %appdata%\docker folders) :)
I was getting the same exact issue and a solution was provided from thread The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced." error after Windows Update fixed my problem. I had tried everything before this solution. To keep it simple just follow the below steps -
Copy below snippet
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\AppId_Catalog\0408F7A3]
"AppFullPath"="C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe"
"PermittedLspCategories"=dword:80000000
Save it as a file wsl.reg
Execute the file to update the wsl registry
restart docker desktop
these steps are basically done to do some changes in the registry of wsl distribution that is installed standalone or by docker.
Using PowerShell gave me a right direction. All restarts and re-install with deletion didn't work.
wsl -l -v showed list of three processes but wsl -t docker-desktop responded with "There is no distribution with the supplied name." only. wsl --shutdown either didn't work.
Solution is next door wsl --unregister docker-desktop . After this all went fine.
I ran the following command which resolved the issue for me.
wsl --unregister docker-desktop
Please make sure your OS type requires WSL or Hyper-V to run docker as per this official link ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/
For my case, I am using Windows 11 Home OS, and it requires WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to run docker. So that I installed WSL on my system.
Follow this link to install WSL ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package
After that restart your system, then open docker (It may take up to 10 secs to start)
Hope it may solve your issueโœŒ๏ธ

Docker Toolbox setup fails on Windows 8.1

After (successfully, I believe) installing the Docker Toolbox, I get the following error:
$ docker ps
error during connect: Get http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.26/containers/json: open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified. In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run elevated to connect. This error may also indicate that the docker daemon is not running.
Also, when I try to run the docker quickstart terminal, it just prints the following error:
Docker Machine is not installed. Please re-run the Toolbox Installer and try aga
in.
Looks like something went wrong in step 'Looking for vboxmanage.exe'... Press an
y key to continue...
I searched through the docker troubleshooting but didn't find any hint.
I tried installing the toolbox both with and without checking the "Install VirtualBox with NDIS5 driver [default NDIS6]" checkbox.
Try this,
Check if the docker machine exists. Command to check this below.
docker-machine ls
If you still get error then execute step 2 below. If you see any machine listed and it has STATE stopped then execute docker-machine start machine_name eg. docker-machine start default
This step helps you to create a docker-machine.
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
I also face some problems like you and I troubleshoot the problem with the following steps in window 8.1.
Install Docker Toolbox
REGENERATE CERTIFICATES
$ docker-machine regenerate-certs default
Regenerate TLS machine certs? Warning: this is irreversible. (y/n): y
Regenerating TLS certificates
Create new machine default
$ docker-machine create default
Note: It may take a few minutes for downloading boot2docker.iso file.
UPGRADE docker-machine (Optional)
$ docker-machine upgrade
START Docker Quickstart Terminal (or) Run start.sh file under the location => C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox
RUN HELLOWORLD
$ docker run hello-world
I hope it will help you :-)

Docker cannot create a machine - Error in driver during machine creation

error message
when the first time i run the Docker Quickstart Terminal , i got below message,the machine cannot be create.
Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: exit status 1
Looks like something went wrong... Press any key to continue...
does anyone have some idea?
Versions of related components:
DockerToolbox-1.9.0
Windows 7 sp1
VirtualBox Version 5.0.8 r103449
Without using docker quickstart, make sure docker-machine_windows-amd64.exe (the latest 0.5.5 version) is in your path and type:
cd /path/to/docker-machine_windows-amd64.exe
docker-machine ls
docker-machine create -d virtualbox anewmachine
docker-machine ssh anewmachine
(if dokcer-machine is already in your PATH because of the docker Toolbox installation, you have nothing to download: just type docker-machine version to check its version)

Error in Docker: bad address to executables

I'm trying to something with Docker.
Steps I'm doing:
- Launch Docker Quickstart Terminal
- run docker run hello-world
Then I get error like:
bash: /c/Program Files/Docker Toolbox/docker: Bad address
I have to say that I was able to run hello-world image, but now I'm not. I don't know what happend.
I don't know if it matters however I had some problems at instalation step.
Since I have git installed in non standard location. However it seems git bash.exe working correctly for Docker.
My environment:
Windows 10
Git 2.5.0 (installed before Docker)
Docker Toolbox 1.9.1a
I have the same issue with bash: /c/Program Files/Docker Toolbox/docker: Bad address
I thought the problems is "bash doesn't support docker.exe".
SO I fix this problem by use powershell ,not the bash.
and if you use powershell maybe face this
An error occurred trying to connect: Get http://localhost:2375/v1.21/containers/json: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2375: ConnectExenter code here
tcp: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
You can export variable from bash use export and import to powershell by this below
$env:DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.99.100:2376"
$env:DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="default"
$env:DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1"
$env:DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH="C:\\Program Files\\Docker Toolbox"
$env:DOCKER_CERT_PATH="C:\\Users\\kk580\\.docker\\machine\\machines\\default"
that's all
ps:I found this problem fixed by update git from 2.5.0 to 2.6.3.
Not entirely sure what the issue is, report it to the project on github. I find the docker mac and windows tools a bit flakey from time to time as they are still maturing. If you don't mind seeing what's underneath, you can try running docker-machine directly or set up your own host pretty quickly with Vagrant.
Docker Machine
Run a command or bash prompt to see what machines you have.
docker-machine ls
Create a machine if you don't have one listed
docker-machine create -d "virtualbox" default-docker
Then connect to the listed machine (or default-docker)
docker-machine ssh default-docker
Vagrant
If that doesn't work you can always use vagrant to manage VM's
Install VirtualBox (Which you probably have already if you installed the toolbox)
Reinstall Git, make sure you select the option for adding ALL the tools to your system PATH (for vagrant ssh)
Install Vagrant
Run a command or bash prompt
mkdir docker
cd docker
vagrant init debian/jessie64
vagrant up --provider virtualbox
Then to connect to your docker host you can run (from the same docker directory you created above)
vagrant ssh
Now your on the docker host, Install the latest docker the first time
curl https://get.docker.com/ | sudo sh
Docker
Now you have either a vagrant or docker-machine host up, you can docker away after that.
sudo docker run -ti busybox bash
You could also use PuTTY to connect to vagrant machines instead of installing git/ssh and running vagrant ssh. It provides a nicer shell experience but it requires some manual setup of the ssh connections.

docker-machine install fails due to 'Couldn't read CA cert' error

I am trying to setup docker-machine locally on my Windows machine and I followed the install instructions at the Docker Machine Page.
Per the instructions, I ran the following commands in my bash terminal
To install Docker client binary
$curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.3.0/docker-machine_windows-amd64.exe > /bin/docker-machine
and to install Docker machine binary
$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.3.0/docker-machine_windows-amd64.exe > /bin/docker-machine
when I try to run docker-machine -v I get the following error
FATAL[0000] Couldn't read ca cert 'C:\Users\Me\.boot2docker\certs\boot2doker-vm\ca.pm: open 'C:\Users\Me\.boot2docker\certs\boot2docker-vm'\ca.pem: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I did some searching and came across a few posts, but can't really see any connection to what would be causing my issues...
https://github.com/hypriot/kitematic/pull/1
https://github.com/docker/machine/issues/908
I installed docker machine today on my Windows 7 machine and run the command without any problem.
Did you use boot2docker before on your machine? If you did, it might be related as mine is a clean machine without any pre-existing docker installations.
Its referring to boot2docker environment.
see this:
DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/Users//.docker/machine/machines/dev"
I got the same answer and was able to resolve it by changing the path pattern to be unix-style in the environment variable.
Inside msysgit bash shell:
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/C/Users/Me/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
This resolved boot2docker.
Note that I also tried using docker-machine before using boot2docker which previously failed with the same error. That was not resolved the same way boot2docker could be resolved. For now only boot2docker is working for me.
